AI coding startup Cognition reportedly already in talks to raise at $40B valuation | TechCrunch

Cognition，其开发的 AI 编码代理名为 Devin，据彭博社报道已就新一轮融资与投资者展开谈判，目标估值至少为 400 亿美元。该公司此前于 5 月以 260 亿美元估值完成了 10 亿美元的融资。根据消息人士透露，若实现 10 亿美元年化营收增长率，本轮融资将推动其估值跃升至 400 亿美元。Cognition 创始人兼 CEO Scott Wu 曾向 TechCrunch 确认，公司当时已达成 4.92 亿美元年化营收增长，且 Devin 在企业用户中的月环比使用量在过去六个月增长了 50%。Wu 强调，Devin 并非用于替代人类，而是专注于程序员不喜欢的长尾重复性工作，如软件升级或平台迁移。目前该公司的客户包括梅赛德斯 - 奔驰、NASA 和高盛。
